Re: 2024 NFL MOCK DRAFT EXTRAVAGANZA
I almost entirely avoid all of the pre-draft nonsense, so maybe this wasn't surprising to others, but I couldn't believe when I checked and saw that the Steelers got Peyton Wilson with their 4th pick. That dude is a beast! You obviously never know how these things will turn out, but I'd say Pittsbur...

For reference: that's a lyric from a new Taylor Swift song. It led people to Google her childhood home. It's a really nice home.

Re: EPL 2023-24
That was ugly. The midfield trio of Enzo, Caicedo, and Gallagher has been soft defensively all year. When you pair them with Badiashile in the back, the sieve becomes a gaping wound. I told my son after the last game he played that he should never don a Chelsea shirt again. But then we started him o...

Of course, that was often difficult too, because invariably a kid or two wouldn't show or would show up late. I ...
